Why does Toffee keep cheeping?
« on: July 30, 2010, 12:20:28 PM »
My female chipmunk has been cheeping most the morning. I've looked her over and physically she appears to be fine. I just want to check on her and ask for peoples opinion as to what may be wrong. What should I check for? She is eating okay, she isn't being picked on by the others and she has plenty food, toys, water etc.

If it is a constant chirping sound then this is usually the chipmunks mating call :D

Hi

I can you have become frustrated as you don’t seem to be receiving our replies to your password request.

My female chipmunk ‘Star’ hasn’t stopped chirping since spring, it’s been every ten days all through the spring and so far this summer. She is very loud, and as a special treat likes to stay up late on the days she is chirping.  :happy7:

I have noticed she likes to be up as high as she can when she’s calling for a male.

Hello,

My baby girl is only 6 month old, but she's been cheeping also. Yesterday she sounded just like her mother when she was in the mood for  :love3: , but it can't be it, right? Is it like Tarcus said, that she's practicing...?! :D

She's always been really "talkative" compared to her mom and dad. She does a lot of "hey, what's up?"-chip chips, that seem to have no real meaning... apart from asking what's up  :icon_flower:
